Dick,

What do you want to put in? There is change over mounts for just about any
type of motor you want.

Just read my post about 56 Ford TRUCK radio and the price is messed up.
Should be $400.00. Thanks, Lee

Subject: New to F100 with some questions

Hello All:

I apoligize if this message appears twice; I sent it 2 days ago and it
has not yet shown up, so I thought I'd try again.

I recently became the owner of a '53 F100 when my brother decided to part
with his hobby. Fortunately, the truck is in pretty good shape, but just
about anything that could leak fluid does, so I want to get around to
fixing some of them, but my experience is somewhat limited.

I have lots of questions, and I would welcome any free advice, so I'll
start with the following:

The steering gear box leaks - is there a gasket that I can replace easily
that will stop that?

There is a small leak in the gas tank - how much do replacement tanks
cost, or should I just get this one repaired?

The feedback I got about upgrading to a dual master cylinder seems to buy
a bracket which will allow mounting a 67-71 Maverick drum/drum dual
master cylinder. Anyone done this - where is the best place to get the
bracket?

I need to do the front brakes, and it seems that maybe the front drums
are too thin to turn - what other years can I salvage another set of
drums from?

Is there a kit to add safety belts, even shoulder belts?

Thanks for all the help,

BED

To Dick--the engine bay held a YBlock as the stock engine, the data plate
in the glove box will tell which one. Just about any modern Ford V8 will
fit into the bay. There are lots of aftermarket mount kits. Most guys
pick the 302 or the 351C. Modern AOD trannies will also fit and
transmission mounts are sometimes called for. These are also available in
the catalogs. The only other decisions are the driveshaft (it will have to
be cut and balanced) and the rearend to use. Usually one uses the rearend
that came with the motor. It you get your parts from a yard, buy the whole
drivetrain from a vehicle with reasonable mileage. If you want a lot of
accessories, use a lurury car for your donor, it will have a HD
alternator.

GTE and AOL have bounced almost all the email sent out to them
yesterday. It looks like they're ok now but that's the reason
why many of you didn't get list mail yesterday.

I'm just curious, what was the cost each that you were quoted? I'm
looking into the same style sticker for some product promos for my
company... Also, how many colors are you using?

Thanks!

Geff King, one of the list members made this page. The
"High-Speed Characteristics of Pickup Trucks" article is
extremely funny and I hope everyone here enjoys it as
much as I did.

Here are the answers to everyone's questions:

1. Stickers are one color: white on a clear background.
I choose white instead of Ford blue because Ford blue
won't show up on many windows with tinting.

2. Stickers cost me $140.00 for 100, making them a $1.40
each. Price drops after 100 as the initial price
includes screen setup.

3. Company is here in Atlanta, send me private email if
you want more info. Net searches on bumper sticker
printing will give you local information if you'd rather
handle it that way.

4. I'm giving them the design on disk as a JPG formated
file.

5. Preliminary sticker design is on the web site.
http://www.ford-trucks.com
Go to the bottom of the page and you'll see the link.
Sticker design is simple and to the point. Perhaps
in the future they'll get colorful. I'm open to suggestions
and submissions for the current sticker but it has
to stay one color or the cost goes up.

6. Sticker size is 12" x 3".

6. I'm selling them for $3.00. This includes shipping.
Money will go to support the web site/list expenses. Some
possibilities for an additional list are in the works.
The 1980+ list is getting rather large, bigger than the
other two lists combined. Let me know if anyone has
suggestions (such as a SUV list).

7. Send a check or money order is:
Kenneth Payne
FTE, Attn: Sticker
P.O. Box 422
Lilburn, GA 30048
Allow 2-3 weeks for shipping. Stickers will go to press this
Monday.

8. After first 50 ship, I'll send out the freebie stickers....
